Cristiano Pereira Figueiredo (born 29 November 1990), known simply as Cristiano, is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Greek club Panetolikos F.C. as a goalkeeper.
Club career
Born in Munich, Germany to Portuguese parents, Cristiano started playing youth football with Académico de Viseu FC, finishing his formation with S.C. Braga. He spent his first two years as a senior as the latter's third-choice, also being loaned to F.C. Vizela the farm team.[1]
On 24 July 2011, Cristiano was signed by Valencia CF in Spain, being assigned to the B-side in the third division.[2] He appeared in just five games during his only season.
In the 2012 summer Cristiano returned to Portugal and Braga, being again third-string with the main squad and competing with the re-created reserves in the second level. On 11 August he made his debut as a professional, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–2 away draw against S.L. Benfica B.[3]
For the 2014–15 campaign, Cristiano went on loan to Académica de Coimbra in the Primeira Liga. He appeared in 28 games across all competitions, helping his team narrowly avoid relegation.
On 5 January 2016, having been deemed surplus to requirements by manager Paulo Fonseca as several other Portuguese players, Cristiano signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Greek club Panetolikos FC.[4]
Personal life
Cristiano's younger brother, Tobias, is also a footballer. A defender, he played youth football at Sporting Clube de Portugal, also making his professional debuts there.[5]
